I really posted this mani final 12 months and noticed, too late, a gingerbread mani by Megan (@two.peas.and.polish). It had a component in it that I wished to steal so unhealthy. I even talked about it on the finish of the 1.0 gingerbread weblog submit. I’ve embedded her Insta submit beneath the subsequent two paragraphs, however simply in case it stops present, I’ll describe it for you: So she began with a set of magnetic brown press-on nails. Then, she added a Facet French (a diagonal space subsequent to the cuticle space) with Maniology’s M304 stamping plate and rounded the sting with dots so it appeared like frosting. On a few of the pictures, that’s it, however she additionally took a smaller dotting software and added some metallic dots in crimson and inexperienced. She completed her summary gingerbread look with three dots down the thumb and accent nail.

It was so cool. It match my two framing nails as a result of they had been brown. I’d simply…already taken the images, edited them, and arrange my submit. I used to be already finished. However the beauty of portray on falsies is that they’re nonetheless round a 12 months later…

So I took Megan’s concept and adjusted it to suit my mani. Although I had M304, I made a decision to freehand my Facet French for apply. And since I didn’t have a glitzy magnetic background, I made a decision to jazz mine up by changing the colourful dots with precise rhinestones. I had inexperienced and pink in order that’s what I used. Every little thing else stayed the identical. The layered gingerbread nail stickers and the bottom polishes are all as-is.
